honoring you...
A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

I was there when you fell as my shield.
I was platoon leader on the radio calling for mortars, arty, and napalm when Red crawled up by my side firing his M-60 machine-gun. Shoulder to shoulder we lay. He died next to me as my shield. I owe him my life, and I love him.
